2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)

I’ve come to learn that starting strong is always, the heartbeat of the New Year. With the opportunity to restart and reset; motivation is high. It starts out with high hopes, great expectations and goals that’s far reaching. I know first hand that intentions are great, but application is the only attribute that yield results. As you may can tell by the sporadic post here. I have good intentions to be faithful to posting here, but falter at follow through. So, here I go again….revisiting the idea of blogging.

How do you turn motivation into application? By making it a priority and just getting starting somewhere consistently, no matter how big or small the action is in the famous words of Nike…Just do it. Become discipline eventually you’ll garner momentum. You may not have all the details but begin to steer yourself in the direction you desire to go.

What is the mission behind what you want to do? Why do you want to do it? Your motive will give you motivation, if your intentions about it is pure.

When you determine its value, then you’ll find if it’s worth your time. If you discover that it is worth your time and effort; then don’t let anything change your mind and do not talk yourself out of it. (Sometimes you have to tell your own worst critic in your head to shut up.)

Disarm all the reason why you can’t, by writing a list of all the reasons you should and the benefits that will be rewarded.

Set reminders, but when you set reminders do not ignore them.

Employ an accountability partner and allow yourself to be subject to them. However, please choose him/her wisely.

Wisdom is primal to the life of anyone living, therefore, we are instructed to seek wisdom, if we lack it we’re instructed to ask for it, then we are admonished to incline our ear to her.

Which bring me to a point did you know that the bible refer to wisdom as a her? It’s all in the details, I tell you. I believe the reason why Wisdom is addressed as a female , is because her ability to produce. Which we will learn more about in the coming days. I did mention that Wisdom comes with benefits. Didn’t I? Look at the prior post to see if I did. In keeping with this post at hand let’s get back. Wisdom is the principal thing and the next set of instruction states:

Therefore,

Get Wisdom

Get an understanding

Get Wisdom

This tells me that every individual bares the responsibility to pursue, seek and get wisdom. She is not a given, but is revealed to all who seek her out as a valuable treasure. Which we too will learn about in the near future. Everyone don’t qualify to have her although she wish to be sought and found out by all. Her hope is like the Father, that none will perish. Needless, to say many fail to adhere to truth; neglect and even mock wisdom. Proverbs tells of the tale of those who accepted and ignored wisdom invitation. Wisdom is so deep and mind blowing that Solomon declared in all your getting: Get an understanding.

Get An Understanding

The second part of wisdom is understanding. In order to understand Wisdom and the truth she offers, you are going to need understanding to understand the reasoning of her instructions and the destruction that comes from ignoring her.Wisdom speaks so elaborately, that you can miss out, but understanding will help you capture the nuggets and how to apply it to your life, situations and circumstances.

Solomon is a testament of wisdom. He is deemed to be the wisest man that ever lived. Nonetheless, even the wiseth man that ever lived forsook the voice of wisdom and seen that when wisdom speaks it true. Stay tuned to learn when and how Solomon forsook wisdom.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

James 1:5

Wisdom is needed as long as we travel along life’s journey. We all need wisdom. Wisdom will teach you, keep you and guide you along your path. Wisdom has many benefits if we will take the time to incline our ear to hear, heed and obey. We will learn that if we fail to hear, heed and obey the voice of wisdom we will pay the penalty thereof.

I am feeling led to travel the road of Wisdom; so join me as I take the adventure of discovering the benefits that wisdom has to offer. May we become the wiser thereafter.

However, before we begin the journey let’s pray

Father,

According to your Word, you said, ” If anyone lack wisdom let them ask of you who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not”. Therefore, I come asking that you give us revelation knowledge, understanding and insight about all that wisdom entails. Holy Spirit, teach us all things and reveal the truth about wisdom and help us to trust in, depend on and apply wisdom to our daily lives.
